It u only justice to add that there is far
less thieving going on in Mexico, in pro-
portion to population, than in our own
country, for the infuence Of Roman
Catholicism is paramount, especially
among the poorer classes. I venture to
assert that with all your spring bolts and

stealing done in any northern city IN q

Christmas Gift.

P1ttsDurg Dlspalcn.
The gladness injected into these
gloomy days by the customs handed
down from the fathers is not without its
humorous features, though often to the
head of the household it comes in ca
lamitous form, and is only apparent to
the disinterested On locker.
II was nearly ruined by the presents I
received last Christmas" sighed one
gentleman of family.
GLOW so?" was the responsive in
quiry.
"It was all because my family desired
to properly recompense me for my kind
ness to them during the year, Isuppose,"
he replied.
Eyes, that was about the way of it."
he answered. 81 have pretty large
family, and each of them felt it neces-
sary to do something, so each went
quietly to work to provide me with
something extra fine. I got them all and
it pleased me greatly at the time, and it
continues to please me to know they
thought so much of me as their presents
indicated. But know about what such
things cost, and when I thought what
was the sum of the whole, it sent cold
chills up and down my spinal column.
I wouldn't have spent so much money
on myself in year. And the joke of it
is that all the money came of course, out
of my own pocket. That's what gave
me the chills."
''Oh, WE'LL" said his auditor, ''thst is
a common experience. What moral can
you find in it?"
''The only moral that ever struck me
in connection with it is the old-time one
very appropriate to this case, that it is
more blessed to give than to receive"

Walnut Valley Times: An old farm
Or living near Towanda, who delights in
playing practical joke, drove into that
town one day last week with rooster in
his wagon which he had purchased from
a neighbor. While the o. t. was attend
ing to some matters of business about
town, the rooster chopped" out into the
street where he was picked up by a
young man and carried into store near
by for the purpose of putting BIN to
"soak" for the cigars favorite joke of
the o. rs. However, before the y. m.
could play his scheme the o. t. smelt
mice, got mad, rushed over to Esq.
MONEYS, swore out warrant and had
the y. m. arrested on a charge of petty
larceny. A jury was empaneled, nearly
all the male citizens of the town brought
in for witnesses, two citizen lawyers en-
ployed to prosecute and defend, mes
senger dispatched to Ell Dorado
for somebody's criminal law, a
whole day consumed in a trial-the
greater part of the time being consumed
in try ing to establish the sex of the
rooster-a verdict of acquittal was
brought in and the cost amounting to
$35.75 was taxed up to the O. f. This
verifes the statement that Kansans, as q
general rule, can not long endure quies-
ence. When he can't boom in any other
way, he will provoke lawsuit with his
if it takes Texas pony to
pay costs.

Castle Butler.

Boston Budget
Castle Butler is the name given to q
massive granite pile south of the capitol,
which is the most solidly built private
structure in Washington. It was built
by General Butler, of granite brought
from his Cape Ann quarries, as ballast
in the vessel that brought on it's deck
the immense stones used in constructing
the treasury extension and the Scott
monument. The building is divided in
10 three tenements. That on the south
end, with very large and deep cellar, is
used as a store-h house for the map pilates
of the Coast survey. The central tene-
ment is a commodious dwelling, but the
finest residence is the north end, directly
facing the capitol. The hall is in the
center of the house reached after passing
up board steps and under portico of
granite supported by four pillars of the
same stone. The hall is very large, the
staircase wide and of massive oak, reach
ing to the top of the house. 1t contains
a piano and luxurious furniture and is
used as music room. To the, right is
the library, in tufted morocco and inlaid
walnut furniture, with many conspicuous
articles and luxurious adornments. The
most prominent object in the room is q
painting of enormous size of Mount Hood
by Bierstadi, which covers one side of
this large apartment. The dining-room,
which is large and elegant, is in the rear
of the library. The parlor, very large
and very handsome in gilt, bronzes, paint
ings, marbles and rich hangings, is to the
left of the hall. The first and second
floors of the house contain only three
rooms each, and as consequence the
rooms are very large. All the floors are
inlaid with different kinds of wood and
are very elegant, whether partially COW
cred with costly rugs in winter or bare
in summer. It was here, while Senator
Jones, of Nevada, was the occupant, that
General Arthur took his oath of Office as
President of the United States, and resid-
we'd until Mrs. Garfield was ready to
vacate the White House.

Formation of Tree Tops.

As general thing, fruit and orna-
mental trees are 3headed" at from 8 to 3
feet from the ground, and are usually
spreading enough, excspt in case of va
rieties of very upright growth. Such
sorts can be made to spread enough, by
cutting the branches back to just above
a well-developed bud; the bud to be the
direction you wish the limb to extend.
Thus, if you wish more compact head,
the bud should be on the inside of shoot,
and if more spreading form is desired,
the bud should be on the outside, etc.
The topmost bud, or the one next to the
point where the shoot was severed, will if
healthy, well developed one throw out
a shoot, and those below remain dor
mant. If treated in this manner there
will be no use for stakes to tie the
branches to, as your correspondent sug-
gests, except in some weeping trees ETC.,
and even these can be made to grow in
most grotesque and fanciful shapes by
means of careful pruning and budding.

Civil Service Examination in Cheek.
Baltimore American.
A few days ago Civil Service Commits
sioner Edgerton put young lady can
didate through an examination that she
did not bargain for. The young lady
came into his office with a face as red as
full blown rose. But upon close ex-
animation the civil service commissioner,
who, although old in years, is young in
sight and heart, discovered that this
rosy hue was secured by paint and pow
der. Mr.. Edgerton hates anything un-
natural or artificial, and he looked at the
young lady for while, and asked her if
she ever expected to have a husband.
The young lady was rather startled at
the question, but replied, Certainly"
"Then," replied Mr.. Edgerton, IF I
was q young man and calling to
see you, I would prefer to
see your face. Do you suppose
man is going to fight his way
through the powder and paste on your
cheeks when he wants to kiss your face?
NO, mASos oAo youh6 q uoA "oAOo ono oiuo
article, not a mouthful Of paint and pow
der. You have good complexion,
good color and skin. Why do you plas-
ter yourself up with this stuff? Use soap
and water, and you will find the young
men will like you better. When was
young the girls were natural, and did
not daub their faces all over with this
stuff"
Mr.. Edgerton could well say the
above, because his years allowed him
to speak, and after a few minutes of
thought the young girl thanked the
civil service commissioner for his advice,
and said hereafter she would use only
soap and water. She kept her word, for
she called on him day or SO later and
looked as fresh as daisy, without the
trace Of paint or powder. The commits
sioner thinks of adding this feature to
the next examination for female clerks.

! Mexican Windows.

Philade lphia Record.
Mexicans seem to entertain the idea
that windows were made to look in at as
well as to look out OF, and it is matter
Of daily occurrence for men, women, and
children of the gamin order, including
peddlers and professional beggars, to
congregate outside the bars and stand
calmly staring in at US by the hour.
The first sight of these barred windows
strikes the stranger in Mexico rather
unpleasantly, and he is apt fancy him
self in prison behind thsm, with his iron
bedstead and brick floor for suitable &C
cessories. In time, however, he realizes
not only theconvenience but the necessity
of them, and by and by feels an uneasy
sense Of insecurity If by some rare chance
he finds himself not thus protected. The
